Banner issue was because PhotoBucket was down

I've also noticed a speed issue.

Incredibly slow this last couple of days, and yesterday while trying to expand a posted pic, the site just crashed.  Pop-up said website could not be found ----
Had similar prob's here in Aus, too. :(

The last couple of days the site has been really slow, with numerous "Can not display page' messages and multiple 'refresh' having to be used. Also the 'attach image' feature disappeared one day although it seems to be back now but I've not tried it to upload a photo yet.

And now while trying to post this, there's no 'Post' button, I had to abandon the reply I was doing and redo the message to get the 'post icon to show

Been having issues myself, mainly because the previous tenants took a power cable with a unique plug connector that can't be replaced until the new year meaning that while we have an internet connection there is no power to it.  Connection is currently via my phone being used as a mobile hotspot.

Back to normal now.  Then it must have been an issue with a giant squid cutting an undersea cable.

Blame it on Rob Schneider cooking Paella in a glass pan.  Apparently Spain was in an uproar for most of the day.

Interesting: I get that entire missing block back if I use the forum software default theme instead of the board theme:

Right now, the whole heading section of the home page is missing, it's just a white square with a 'no entry' symbol in it. Everything else seems to be OK. I get the latest GB image and the sign in bit but everything above it is as I describe.

I moved the banner off of PB, for obvious reasons, and it now lives in the attachments folder, as stated it shows with default theme,
which means I'll have to tweak the settings for the other themes.

I'll get to it when I can as we've had some family stuff crop up which needs to be addressed before anything else.

Thanks for your patience.
